Chrome does rate-limit too, I managed to batch-check 500 keys with no issue. I want to keep this implementation as CLEAN as possible, so people can read what it do and not fear of self-xss attack towards them - after all, pasting untrusted code in the browser console is real concern nowadays, so i at least tried to make my implementation clear what it does :)

I was about to code a better snippet based on this, but decided that this one is good enough.
Thanks.

The only issue is that it won't find <h2>Activation Details</h2> if your language is set to anything other than English.

Just change the text to whatever your language is, or add ?hl=en to the query string. This code is written in such a way that a human being should be able to quickly verify what the script is all about and you have to edit the script anyways to feed in your keys.

Do I need to be signed up as a developer and have a paid developer account? Will this work with any key or just keys for my own games?

Yes, and the developer account must have access to the game you are querying too.
